Nearly two-thirds of Morris County power customers served by JCP&L have power, with about 72,000 still in the dark, the utility company's power maps showed Monday morning.

But some communities remained significantly harder hit than others. More than 5,300 of the nearly 7,000 customers served by JCP&L in Washington Township remained without power, while Morristown, which has an underground power system, was saw only about 1,860 of the 9,600 served still out.

JCP&L said Monday morning more than 381,000 customers remain without power in New Jersey, out of the close to 1.1 million served throughout the state.

PSE&G, which serves a smaller portion of Morris County, showed under 500 homes still out in Lincoln Park, and no other outages Monday.
